Hello all,
Just thought I would share a project I am working on. It's a 16' shuffleboard table. You can see my progress at:
Oh yea, it will have a mahogany rim around the top edge. I will add more pictures as I go.

G'day Gary, Very nice so far. Quite a bit of detail for a simple game. Well Done
regards John
Cool project Gary.
Look's great! How are you achieving the absolute flatness that's requried?
Hello,
If you look at images 68 thru 71 you will see three bolts in each cross brace. These are every 15 inches dorn the full length of the playing surface. The bolts are in slots which will allow infinite adjustment including making the surface concave or convex at any point or along the entire length.
Try doing that with a 3 inch thick maple slab!

I have added a new batch of pictures for those interested.

Looks nice!
I have some prefinished oak flooring left over from a remodel job. I've been looking for a good use for it. Maybe it's time to take up shuffleboard.
All that it costs is a couple of sheets of plywood (depending on how long you make it, mine is 16 feet) and some hardware, plus the flooring. Then some hardwood for the outer rim, and some carpet to line the inside. I'm doing that now so I will have some new pics soon.
When I'm done I can send you the drawings that I made up if you'd like.
Gary
That's a great idea. Very impressive project!!
